I have been a member of 2 different road clubs and I had to leave both due to the stench of damp wool tights and elitism.

If UK roadies were this cool, I'd join them.

you need to get yourself down to Look Ma No Hands in Clerkenwell, lots of "cool" roadies hanging out....I'm sticking with tights and elitism..

What I thought to.
Bunch of loudmouth fashionistas not actually doing much. You can just tell that everytime they do something the only thing on their mind is how cool it'll look on the website.Posted 10 months ago # -
Now that looks like fun. Looks a lot like riding a motorbike in town. It all turns into a surreal video game. It's also exactly why I'd never ride a bicycle in traffic. I'd enjoy myself too much (and die).

Cool? It's a strange thing, isn't it? I guess that as you're looking for cool things and feel happy to label things cool or not, then the moment you join the cool club it will lose some of its cool.

You seem to be confusing 'coolroadies' with 'hipsterwankers'.

Looks like a Vice Mag wet dream.
...if they are having fun though, why the devil not.

It's all bikes.

The icing on the cake is the shit dubstep track they have on their video. The website really is everything hipster.

They're not even roadies

So you write them off because they have some music you don't like on a video?

I like it. If there was a mountain bike version, I'd be there.

They look like they're not propper roadies. They're riding fixies, roadie wannabies. Or courier wannabies, even worse.

If you aren't riding a fixed gear, track, or a geared road bike you will likely have a hard time keeping up. All are invited but not all will make it to the end. Unfortunately, sometimes riders DO get left behind and that's the madness that is Wolfpack. If you ride hard and complete enough rides you might even get a spoke card (that is unless we lagged again on making more.)
Assume what of a closet Roadie myself
this lot seem like proper nobbers.........I hope it's cycling take on the film wild hogs...........Dropping people on a group ride when all are welcome is a shitty thing to do.

THIS is a cool roadie

Ah, what you need is to cut your teeth with the Northern roadie club 'ard men - they type where if someone turns up with a new expensive bike, then they better bloody well be able to live up to it, as the goal of everyone else is then to break them. The type of club where a good Sunday club run ends with the newbie being led to the middle of nowhere and then beasted up and down every hill in the area till they crack, and the conversation at the cafe stop usually consisting of the phrase "cryin' e' were, e' were fookin cryin"
Only way to earn respect with those boys was to take it and dole it back, I'd suggest that the only way to defeat the club elitism is to be 'ard enuff and fast enuff to leave em fookin cryin!

Zulu, I concur.
Never mind the fashionista feckwits, get some proper riding done.
